House Homeland Security chairman keeps attention on cyber issues

House Homeland Security Committee Chair Andrew Garbarino outlined cybersecurity priorities, urging long-term reauthorization of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, Senate action on state and local cyber grants, and greater emphasis on offensive cyber in the upcoming national cyber strategy. He highlighted ongoing oversight of federal responses to Chinese state-backed groups Salt Typhoon and Volt Typhoon, criticized the FCC’s reversal of certain post-incident rules, and previewed a congressional hearing on AI after Anthropic reported Chinese hackers using its Claude Code tool in cyberattacks.
